Questions

• Can foreign nationals work in Morocco?

  Yes, but they must obtain a work permit through their employer and maintain valid residency documentation. The employer typically initiates the permit process with local labour authorities.

• What is a CDI contract in Morocco?

  CDI (contrat à durée indéterminée) is an indefinite employment contract, the standard form for permanent positions. It requires formal written terms covering salary, role, and termination conditions.

• What are standard working hours in Morocco?

  The legal maximum is 44 hours per week, typically spread Monday through Friday with Friday afternoon often shortened due to prayer observances. Overtime beyond this requires additional compensation.

• What deductions appear on Moroccan payslips?

  CNSS (Caisse Nationale de Sécurité Sociale) is the mandatory social security contribution deducted from all employee salaries. Some employers also deduct health insurance or pension contributions depending on the employment contract.

• How does the Islamic calendar affect the working year?

  Ramadan typically involves modified working hours—many employers reduce the day by an hour or two during fasting. Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha are official public holidays when businesses close.

• What documents do employers typically request?

  Employers ask for a national ID card, proof of education (Baccalauréat or vocational qualification), and a CV. Many also request reference letters from previous employers and proof of address.

• What is a CDD contract?

  CDD (contrat à durée déterminée) is a fixed-term employment contract with a specified end date. These are common in seasonal work, temporary roles, and project-based positions.

• Are trial periods used in Morocco?

  Yes, trial periods (période d'essai) are standard practice and typically last one to three months depending on the role and sector. Either party can terminate during this period with minimal notice.

• How frequently is salary paid in Morocco?

  Salaries are paid monthly, almost always by bank transfer directly to the employee's account. Payment typically occurs between the 25th and 30th of each month.

• What happens to employment during public holidays?

  Official public holidays—including Islamic holidays, Independence Day, and Revolution Day—are non-working days with pay. Working on a public holiday typically requires prior agreement and additional compensation.
